Quantitative Analyst in Poperty Economics --> Quantitative Finance?

[owenho]

Hi all,

I probably will be commercing a job in property economics field as a Quantitative Analyst/Consultant in the coming month.

Can anyone please advise if the work experience (quantitative analyst in property economics) will be helpful to get into Financial Engineering or Quantitative Fiannce field in the future?

Is it easy to transfer from Quantitative Economics to Quantitative Finance area?
